Beautiful!! i studied Art Education at Pontifice Catholic University of Campinas, in Brazil, if I told you the professors didn't even bother to touch this topic, you would be flabbergasted, if they had included your video in their curriculum, it would have been much better, more thourough. Thanks for making this great video!!
Caillebotte is considered an Impressionist but I would not say the "Rainy Day" was done in the Impressionist style. A true example of his impressionist painting would be "Fruit Displayed On A Stand" owned by The Museum of Fine Art, Boston. I would have replaced Manet's'' Luncheon on the Grass'' with any number of true Impressionist paintings by Mary Cassatt.
I suppose impressionist paintings aren't to everyone's taste , for me I lov e their fluffy ,dreamy quality showing life in the mid to late nineteenth century and their breakaway style from the classical traditional , but technically brilliant old master style
Curious that this "10 most famous" should include a couple of Manets and Caiillebottoes - neither of whom were Impressionists although Manet was much admired by them and Caillebotte clung loosely to their coat tails.
Turner about 60 years before the Impressionists but was an influence to them. van Gogh never showed at any Impressionist exhibitions whereas Gauguin and Cezanne did.
I think this was a right choice. Manet was considered to be a leader of the Impressionists, even though he didn't work in that style. Van Gogh on the other hand was inspired by them, but he wasn't so focused on positivism and objective representation of reality. His works are much more subjective. He (based on his letter correspondence to his brother Theo) was much more focused on the effects of colors on the psyche of the viewer and overall much more expressionistic. So Vincent Van Gogh is considered Post-Impressionist like Gauguin.
Le déjeuner sur l'herbe is not really an impressionist painting, and Manet was certainly not an impressionist at the time he painted it. Because a painter is French and was painting at the time of the impressionists, that does not make him an impressionist. Similarly, in this list of the '10 most famous' you include two by Caillebotte. Again, whilst he associated with and supported them, it is easy to see with the precise and realistic style that he was not an impressionist. A great painter - most certainly. An impressionist? No. The Pissarro choice, from all that great man's work, is frankly bizarre. It is most certainly not one of the 'most famous' works of the impressionists. You say that the Caillebotte is 'considered one of the greatest pictures of urban life in the 19th century'. Considered by whom? To overlook works such as Gare St. Lazarre or the Boulevard Montmartre on a winter morning or indeed Renoir's Pont Neuf is to make a nonsense of this unsubstantiated claim. Whilst this is a perfectly pleasant sequence (with the exception of the highly annoying typography), it should not be entitled as the ten most famous (they really are not) and surely it should include only impressionist works. Sorry to bang on, but I really do think it's important to get these things right. This should be entitled 'ten of my favourites from 19C French paintings' or similar which would be perfectly valid and worthwhile. (And it's 'Sistine' - not 'Sixtine'.)
10 most famous❓where is Van Gogh? and where is Degas' ballet dancers? Where is Toulouse Lautrec? And Cezanne? And 3 Renoirs? Renoir is not in the same league as Manet, Monet, Pissaro, Van Gogh, Cezanne.
Van Gogh and Cezanne were not impressionist painters, and the Manet is not an impressionist painting. Degas is there, albeit a strange choice from his body of work. Not sure about your league rankings - that's a weird way to look at art!
@@stevegrant6464 van Gogh was inspired by impressionism in many of his paintings, Cezanne was a late impressionist going into cubism and I don't know what's weird about my way of looking at art.. When I say that Renoir is not in the samme league, I mean just that.. Or if you prefer: class, category, club, rank....
@@zinkadu You could use the term post-impressionist, but neither of those artists were impressionists. You also mention Toulouse Lautrec who was also post, so none of these artists belong in a 'most famous impressionist paintings' list - something that in itself, verges on being somewhere between stupid and offensive. It's clear that you don't know what's weird about treating artists as though they were sports teams or in some kind of competition or ranking. That's entirely up to you, but I would suggest it's not conducive to an understanding of art history. Who are you or I to compare Renoir with Pissarro and say which is superior? They are entirely different.
@@stevegrant6464 you know, not all people in the world have English as their mother language, but I know two words I can pin on you, and that's offensive and condescending. I'm not at nitpicking historian in art, but "just" an artist.
Great video. The music accents the mood of the paintings.

I love the faded style like the sunrise and water lilies rather than the clearer ones...
As a volunteer I found the videos useful and inspiring, Thank you.

Rtenzo
Monet also some believe should not be considered an impressionist painter and female painters including Cassat are absent.
I correct myself Manet not Monet !!
Rainy Day more Naturalism. My top 10 of all paintings but not Impressionism Agree.
Absolutely.
Thank you! Beautiful video!
Perhaps a ten of my favorite paintings of the Impressionists would have been different, but Gustave Caillebotte also certainly would!
Are you and your family safe?
@@renzo6490 yes, we take vitamins and go for long walks
Excellent. My list includes Childe Hassam and Max Liebermann.
Hassam is a bit of a stretch, but I get what you mean.
I suppose impressionist paintings aren't to everyone's taste , for me I lov e their fluffy ,dreamy quality showing life in the mid to late nineteenth century and their breakaway style from the classical traditional , but technically brilliant old master style
Excellnet, merci!!
Link of background music please
Great...thank you!!!!

Not to mention, I was quite surprised to see that "Starry Night" by Van Gogh didn't make the list
Turner was more impressionist than some of the impressionists of which van Gogh was not.
Turner can be looked at as an impressionistic painter but not as one of The Impressionists
Van Gogh is usually classified as a post-impressionist along with Gauguin and Cezanne.
Turner about 60 years before the Impressionists but was an influence to them. van Gogh never showed at any Impressionist exhibitions whereas Gauguin and Cezanne did.
You included Manet but not Van Gogh? Interesting choice.
I think it could be argued that van gough painted in the impressionist style but van gough also had plus impressionism
I think this was a right choice. Manet was considered to be a leader of the Impressionists, even though he didn't work in that style. Van Gogh on the other hand was inspired by them, but he wasn't so focused on positivism and objective representation of reality. His works are much more subjective.

I could never get over the difference between monet and manet
One contains an 'o', and the other an 'a'. ; )
What's up with the Christmas music?
@J. J. Flabenowitz so why do you think it isn't Christmas music? Maybe you need the education!
Did the invention of tube oils lead to impressionism?
NELSON X It contributed. Wind could easily blow away powdered pigment while the artist was mixing it with linseed oil.
i'm so curious to whatever the word "luncheon" means, i like it.
Artists might be known as 'Impressionists'...but not all the depicted works are in the "impressionist" style
very strange choices in this collection of paintings
Isn't is just!
Good
Berthe Morrisot, why isn't she on the list?
As a matter of interest, which painting of hers would you have included?

i dont aggre--but nice try
I stopped watching after viewing the first painting..Gustavo Camillebotte’s “The floor scrapers” is not impressionism.
Can't agree with some of these.
Nor me.
boring
Crap!
